PRIMARY MODERN LANGUAGE

blen’s work in PML deals with current policies, issues, methodology and resources in teaching modern languages to primary school age pupils with an ancillary interest in Early Years. At the present moment, this is not a statutory requirement of the National Curriculum. The Department for Education and Skills has become increasingly encouraging.

Since 1992 blen has created an annual forum since, originally at King’s, London – long before any professional body or government funded institution showed an interest. The annual event is normally held on the first Friday in February. Courses, workshops, school visits are also provided in response to teachers needs. Part of the programme includes an ICT/multimedia hands-on workshop.
